Hi,
I have two system, whose configurations are as below:
1. GigaByte Motherboard(GA-K8N51GMF-9) which has an inbuilt Firewire port,
USB 2.0 port, GigaBit LAN running on AMD 3000+ processor, 1G RAM, WinXP,
connected to Internet over PPPoE
2. Intel 810 Chipset running on Intel 700 Mhz processor, 320 MB RAM, WinXP
and Fedora Core 5, USB 1.1, 10/100 LAN Card
Distance between both PC's 3 feet.
I would like to connect both the PC, but not sure whether the FireWire
network will work. Read that the Firewire networks over 2 WinXP system, but
will it also network over WinXP and Fedora?
Also will the system configuration be a cause of concern for networking as
one is a new age PC and the other a stone age one.
Should I go in for a FireWire network or a USB network? Planning to purchase
a Firewire Card with USB 2.0 for the 810 chipset, but will it actually work
out?
Please advice.
Thanks in advance.

Callistus Mendonca
